hey can i tell you a little creepy story that sounds like a creepy pasta, but i swear is the truth. Back when i used to play pokemon silver i used to nickname my rival Paul (large coincidence right? It got worse) . But for some reason i couldn't get to save mg game so i had to make the best of the battery life on my gameboy Pocket (not great battery life compared to a dmg1 aka original gameboy). After a while of playing and making no progress, i put down silver and i never saw it again. I skipped the hoen series for some reason and bought a DS, which was great and i got DP (both). I played the hell out of diamond but i never touched pearl, i kept the whole paul rival thing going even when i realized he was ash's rival in the anime. After beating diamond i decided to play pearl. I unwrapped the game and put it in. It worked fine until i came to the menu, right where i should of had a new game coming up, i got a continued game, with the entire sinnoh dex and a quater of the national dex filled. The creepy part was that the name of the character was called paul, he also had the entire team from the anime.
I deleted the files and played on but i never used the name paul again. Could someone explain how that file got there on a new game?
